Joey Cada and Darvin Moon 'Weigh In' with Nolan Dalla
Well folks, after being up until 6:30am, hanging out with Vince Neil, the Brunsons, Laak, Tilly & Esfandiari we arose to take on the ‘Weigh In’ as Joey Cada and Darvin Moon faced off (with some help from Sasquatch) to pose for photos and do a little interview time.

The WSOP November Nine promotion went smoother than ever and Nolan Dalla, Seth Polanski and Jeffery Pollack deserve a huge congratulations on everything. Check out some photos from the ‘Weigh In’ the Vince Neil “Ink” Charity Tournament, the Doyle’s Room “10″ announcement and the Heads Up battle itself as the night progresses.
10:35 — Pair vs. Pair first hand heads up. Moon pulls close to even when his queens show up best on the river on a 3K2AK board. The media room is amazed we did not have a huge first hand…but 40 million ain’t bad.
10:55 pm — Moon takes the lead when he turns top pair for a nice pot. 101 million to 92 million Moon.
11:08 pm — Cada bets 35 million on the river of a huge pot and takes it down after Moon thinks for quite a while. Cada now has the lead 120 mil to 74 million.
11:50 — Back to even after Cada had battled the chip lead back, Moon puts a hand to rest with a 25 million three bet.
12:00-1:30am — I’m wandering around the back getting shots and clips with the folks doing Bluff Media commentary and friends and family. Look for those soon.

WINNER WINNER (8.5 Million Dollar) CHICKEN DINNER!! Joe Cada is your 2009 WSOP Main Event Champion taking home a huge prize. Meanwhile Darvin Moon seems crestfallen and maybe a bit disappointed that either the grind or the time seems to have gotten to him. But he goes home with well over $5 million dollars and an impressively supportive group of friends and family.
